Stachys byzantina ''Countess Helen von Stein''

Lambs' Ears

Lambs' Ears describes a large and diverse genus in the Mint family that includes a number of valuable landscape plants. Lambs' Ears' bold leaves are so densely felted with white hairs that they appear gray or silver. This species does flower, throwing silver wands capped with small, pink or purple blooms, but its soft, woolly foliage is really the main attraction. Plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They tolerate drought, but also get by in a bit of shade and quite heavy soil. What they cannot abide is extreme heat and humidity.
